What does VP actually do for me?

VP raises your level, and every one of the 100 levels unlocks something: crests, name colours, typefaces, profile and chat themes, entrance effects, Stream Boost tokens and VP bonuses.

• A crest beside your name and your rank colour in live chat.
• Your own name colour, typeface and, later, an animated gradient.
• Profile accents and gradients, an animated banner and avatar, and profile music.
• Chat themes for your DMs and your own typing indicator.
• A bigger entrance when you join a live stream.
• Stream Boost tokens and free VP bonuses.
• You earn a little more VP at each level, half a percent per level.

VP is about status and style, not money. What creators are paid depends on what they've earned, never on VP.
